Downgraded Mesa
And proved the Mesa update broke Flatpak Firefox. See this. Firefox is unusable with the new Mesa. I even moved my Firefox profile, created an empty folder, ...
The backup drive on Raspberry Pi is spinning down
NFS is the problem. I was connected by SSH, ran ls on the same folder, and opened it in Dolphin, and no delay on the Pi itself by SSH, just Dolphin. Not to m...
Rebooting the Xbox Series S actually fixed the audio
There was no sound on the Xbox, when set to Dolby Atmos. Instead of messing with the TV, I decided to see if rebooting would fix it. Thanks to the new HDMI c...
I don’t even want a Mac laptop
Probably because of the price, and how much extra it costs for more RAM and space. No more upgrading either yourself. I like AMD laptops, with Linux on it. W...
Maybe I won’t have to check how much RAM my Apple Silicon Mac mini is using now
I made a cronjob to kill systemstats once a day, as systemstats likes using a shitload of RAM, basically using a ton of SWAP, because it costs a fortune to g...

Amazon branded HDMI cables came
They are the 48Gbps ones. Used one, and it works, eARC works too. Now if only the TV would auto change inputs when something turns on, like it used to. Maybe...
Lucky
Didn't break my laptop's screen yet. The fucking water bottle fell on it again. Recliners aren't good for drinking water. Not if the table or whatever isn't ...
Fixed the Raspberry Pi’s fan
USB fan did the trick, unplugged the loud as fan, took the PS4's fan, and it's still cool. Even with the top of the case on. It's blowing sideways, instead o...
Should have checked the Raspberry Pi’s temperature before unplugging the fan
cpu_thermal-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +61.8°C What is the max temperature it can handle? Well, I don't think it comes with a ...
You don’t need two antennas in my apartment
It was making the signal worse, the antenna combiner. So for testing, I plugged one antenna directly into the HDHomeRun. Both channel 4 and Fox come in bette...
It’s supposedly a free country
But a woman can't do as she pleases with her own body, in America. Birth control might be outlawed as well, the republicans just have to control congress. Do...
AMD Mendocino laptop might be better buy then Steam Deck
Not as small. But if it has dual channel RAM for $400, it's a good price for a laptop. Or if you can upgrade the RAM yourself. If they come out before I can ...
Why do I have to occasionally rotate my antennas?
Aren't the broadcasting towers stationary? Finally got Fox to green for signal quality. The cartoon had some issues last night, not sure why only one cartoon...
Damn, the only ioSafe for personal use, without any drives is over $500
It's the duo one. It's $579 without any drives. Might be cheaper to buy a fireproof/waterproof safe, and put the drive in there. It won't be connected all th...
BuyVM should add a country blocker to their DDoS Protection Firewall
I don't need Russia accessing my server. I doubt any actual people in Russia are reading this blog. Most is probably bots trying to hack it. The same with Ch...
Took a laxative
It'll be surprising if I get diarrhea. Haven't been shitting as much as I was before the weekend. Don't think I'm really eating that much less either. I went...
What will politicians do when money isn’t worth anything?
A lot of republicans might quit. They aren't working for the people, just to get reelected and make money. If they stopped giving them money, a lot of them p...
To buy a Steam Deck or not
I like playing games on the TV, good luck playing games @ 4k on the Steam Deck. Probably not even 1080p. I'd stream, but they aren't going to fix a bug from ...
Flatpak Firefox not working after updating Manjaro?
If it looks all corrupted, like a graphical problem, you need to disable hardware acceleration, I created a user.js file to do so. cat ./.var/app/org.mozil...
